Welcome

Inspired Family Life provides parenting education resources for families with children of all ages. Our mission is to help parents raise children who can, as they mature:

live authentically, in alignment with their essential natures;

think clearly and creatively when faced with the challenges of life;

be open-hearted, with healthy attitudes and values:

a positive approach to living

respect, interest and empathy for self and others

knowledge of and respect for their individual limits

capacity to self-regulate when stressed;

show initiative, motivation and courage to face whatever life brings.

Our work includes parenting workshops, classes, support circles and publications. We are based in Santa Cruz, California and travel within Northern California to facilitate parent education events. Our publications are available through our website.

We hope that you will find something here that is helpful for your parenting journey!

“...You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow...

“You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday...”
